AN: Hey guys. Sorry for the long wait for the second chapter of Splatoon Adventure. One thing off the bat, is that I wanna apologize if there's gonna be some mistakes upon pointing out wrong Octarian species, been a while since I've been on Octo Valley in my game of Splatoon. Anyways, I own NOTHING of Splatoon. Enjoy!
Chapter 2: Agent 3 In Action
It has been a few weeks since the invasion of the Octarians took over Inkopolis. The conditions there was not so good. A lot of citizens have been held as prisoners, stores are ruined with tons of octo ink, the same goes to the buildings. It was a disaster. There'd be some dead inklings who were unfortunate of not being able to escape the invasion on time. There was some group of inklings who were able to seek refuge somewhere outside of Inkopolis, some took refuge in some dark alleys, schools, or underground.
Octavio was laughing loudly as he was celebrating on his successful conquest, sitting on his throne in his UFO that rested on top of the tower that once rested the Great Zapfish, which is now the source of Octavio's power whenever he needed to use it, which makes him powerful among any species.
"This is great! I have conquered the most fresh continents in the world.", said Octavio as he jammed out to one of his beats that the captured inklings found very unpleasant and annoying.
"Indeed, master", said his butler. "The octolings are still out scouting for any survivors that may or may have not escaped the invasion to get them to join us or die."
"Good. I expect nothing less but perfection from my soldiers! Now nobody can't stop me! Nobody!", exclaimed Octavio as he laughed once more.
MEANWHILE, SOMEWHERE FAR, FAR AWAY
Ian found himself in space, looking around for a moment to see nothing but darkness. He was somewhat frightened. But he was able to stand, on what? Nothing it appears, but some type of floor it appears.
"Uhh...hello? Anybody?", shouted Ian.
No response, the only thing that responded was his echoe on what he said. He starts walking straight, looking around very unaware on where he is.
"Mom? Dad? Lola? Lance? Tom? Anybody?!", shouted Ian once more as he progressed on. No answers yet. What is going on? Is he dead?
Ian then found his parents and friends laying on the floor, looking dead. Ian immediately rushed to them.
"Mom?! Dad?! Guys?! What happened?! Wake up!", panicked Ian.
He then saw a bright light, as he saw the Great Zapfish, roaring in pain as if the electricity was rejecting it. But the shocks were purple as the King of the Octarians grinned evilly as the Great Zapfish was sucked in a machine. A cannon would aim at Ian, and it shot an enormous purple beam. Ian started screaming, flinching for it to destroy him.
Ian opened his eyes wide and screamed while sitting up. Now he'd find himself sitting on a warm comfortable bed. He was gasping for air, holding on to his chest as he panted heavily. He started sweating and grow nervous, but yet relieved when he found out that it was all just a horrible dream.
'My god...I felt like I just shit myself...but..where the hell am I?' questioned Ian in his head.
A tall, female inkling came in the room. She is gray haired, wearing a green dress and black boots. She'd grin and crossed her arms, leaning against the wall.
"About time you got up. You was passed out for days.", said the lady.
Ian couldn't believe who was he just looking at right now, his eyes widening and mouth hung open. His trembling hand would point to her.
"Y...y...you're Marie! Marie from Inkopolis News!", exclaimed Ian.
Marie just rolled her eyes at his statement. She wasn't so impressed with his first impression on her, because a lot of inklings seem to have the same reaction due to being huge fans of her and her cousin Callie. And together, they're known as the Squid Sisters.
"Yeah, yeah..big deal. Yes, I am Marie. Listen kid, you're gonna need to calm down and not to waste all of your energy. You just got up.", said Marie.
"R..right….yeah, sorry for overreacting. It's just my first time meeting a popular celebrity like yourself, I got carried away.", Ian said, scratching the back of his head.
"Can't say I blame you. You're not the only one who always had the same problem like that. Anyways, stay right here. Don't move, you'll only hurt yourself even more.", with that, Marie walked out for a moment.
Ian tilted his head a bit before looking down. He saw that he is shirtless at the moment, as his body is wrapped around in white bandages. He sighed, as he rubbed his head a bit. Afterwards, Marie came back, accompanied by a lady named Callie, who was black haired, wearing a pink dress, and a short old inkling with a captain hat with white beard and cane. The old man walked up to Ian.
"I'm glad to see you're up and at 'em young man. You took quite the fall there.", said the old inkling.
Ian then looked down at this hands, then finally remembered what just happened.
"Wh...where am I?! And where are my friends?!", asked Ian.
"Calm down lad. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Cap'n Cuttlefish! I used to serve as a leader of the Squidbeak Splatoon. A pleasure to meet you...uh"
"I...Ian..Ian Inkowski. Wait...THE Captain Cuttlefish?! The one who served in the war between inklings and octarians back in the early 1900's?", asked Ian.
Cuttlefish chuckled and nodded, "The one and only. I am quite surprised a young lad like yourself would recognize this old man here."
Ian nodded with a smile, "Yeah. I'm in high school, and I take history classes based upon any war that our species have gotten into. Wait, how come the Squid Sisters are here though, if I may ask?"
Callie giggled, sticking her tongue out playfully, "Silly, this is our one and only gramps!"
"What?! You're his granddaughters? Th...that's so cool.", Ian said with awe.
The three laughed a bit at the boy's expression as they nodded.
"So tell me young lad. Do you remember what happened that caused you to fly all the way here?", asked the captain.
Ian sighed, looking out the window.
"Well...yeah, for the most part...it just happened so suddenly, it went by so quickly. I just got home from school, and decided to hang out with my friends. We wanted to go for a match of Turf War. As things got under way, something terrible happened. Random purple ink appeared out of nowhere. And it wasn't normal at all because it killed the opposing team..and then…! MY FRIENDS!", Ian shouted as he tried to stand up, but cringed in pain.
Callie and Marie quickly calmed him down, gently pushing him back down on the bed.
"Hey, calm down!", exclaimed Callie.
"Your friends are probably separated. We only found you.", added Marie.
Ian sighed, giving up now, as he lay back on the bed. He didn't had any other choice, he's injured and now lack of strength to even fight back against the Squid Sisters. Cuttlefish brushed his hands on his beard as if he was thinking.
'Hmm...this might actually work. He seems to have a lot of spirit. Probably bigger than my granddaughters', thought Cuttlefish.
"I see then...that must mean those good-for-nothing Octarians invaded Inkopolis. They sure have a bad habit of conquering large climates. They always desire for a bigger home with slaves.", explained Cuttlefish, sighing in disgust.
"Aww man! That means our studio back there is ruined!", shouted Callie, as she crossed her arms with a childish pout.
"At least that's some form of vacation from work...in a worse possible way that is.", said Marie as she shrugged her shoulders.
Ian sighed as he clenched his fists while growling in anger.
"I….I really wanna do something about this mess! Surely someone must be responsible to do something about those stupid, 8-limbed bastards! And I want to be that responsible individual!", shouted Ian.
Cuttlefish and his granddaughters stared at Ian for a moment. Cuttlefish was very impressed on the boy's courage and dignity to save his hometown. Cuttlefish's prediction was right, Ian has some form of spirit that can withstand any other.
Cuttlefish tapped his cane on the floor and smiled, "Then it's settled!"
With confusion, Ian and the Squid Sisters glanced at the old captain.
"You, young lad, I must say that you are one of the most courageous young man I ever met! I think you have what it takes to put an end to these purple suckers. So as of now, YOU my young lad, are an official member of the Squidbeak Splatoon! You are now referred to as, Agent 3.", explained Cuttlefish.
Ian stared at the old man, blinking a few times before thinking over on what he just explained. He clenched his fists once more before nodding. He accepted being part of the group without question. If this was going to make him a better person to save his hometown, he'd give about anything to do so. For his friends and family. But for now, he is still aching of pain from the fall he had to take from being blown away from his city. Thinking what is going on now? Are his family and other friends doing okay? He doesn't know at all. All he can do is sleep, as he slowly closed his eyes.
Cuttlefish and his granddaughters are at the dining room, having supper while Ian rests his pain away. The captain sipped some tea, before placing the cup on the table.
"Are you sure you're making the right decision of letting him join us, gramps?", asked Marie with her head resting on her hand while her elbow rested on the table.
Cuttlefish slowly nodded, "I am very certain sweetheart. When I looked at him, he reminded me about myself when I was young like you. His determination, courage, and his promising attitude. I couldn't help myself. He could possibly be the one to put an end to the Octarians once and for all."
"Then I call dibs on training him tomorrow!", volunteered Callie.
"But for right now, let the young bucko rest. He needs to rebuild his strength, we can't have a fragile squiddo in training.", suggested Cuttlefish.
The next morning, it was a bit cloudy as Ian felt much better. He is outside on the backyard of Cuttlefish's lair. He wore an all black clothing with a yellow vest. He also wore a headpiece that appears to be headphones. Ian looked at himself, grinning at his looks.
"Sweet. I look cool in these.", said Ian. "But I just remembered something, where's my Jet Squelcher?"
"Ah, that's what almost slipped out of my mind.", reassured Cuttlefish as Callie walked up to Ian, wearing the same thing but her vest is pink instead of yellow. She tossed Ian his trusty weapon, as he caught it.
"Oh man, how I missed you buddy!", said Ian as he practically hugged his weapon like a stuffed bear.
"Now then, bucko," said Cuttlefish as he set up a few dummies ahead of him in within range. He was getting ready to explain the instructions until Ian zoomed right towards the dummies as he aimed his weapon to them, and rapidly shot the dummies as they exploded. The last target he slashed it apart with the muzzle of the weapon.
The Squid Sisters' jaws dropped open when they witnessed how quickly he took care of the dummies. More dummies appeared, surrounding Ian. He'd smirk as he threw his weapon high up in the air, as he smashed the dummies with incredible punches and kicks that looked like from a kung fu master. 2 more dummies remained as he jumped up and caught his weapon before firing the last dummies.
"M...my word! Young lad, that was the most incredible skills I ever seen in my old life! I applaud to your techniques!", exclaimed Cuttlefish as he clapped.
Ian chuckled, smiling as he scratched the back of his head as if he was embarrassed by his parents. Especially his mother, who always tend to be overprotective for him no matter the age he is in.
"How in the hell did you learned to fight like that?", asked Marie.
"Oh..well for my weapon, me and my friends are one of the most freshest squid squads in Inkopolis, always participating in Turf Wars and Ranked Battles. And for hand-to-hand combat, I took a long 5 year course of kung fu when I was little. It's what I use to defend myself from bullies…like in high school for example.", explained Ian as he shrugged his shoulders.
Cuttlefish went up to his granddaughters, whispering to them, "I told you I made the right decision to have him be part of us."
It turned out to be true, the sisters smiled as they look at Ian. As things got underway, The Squid Sisters turned into Ian's opponents while training as all they did was hand-to-hand combat with the old captain being the referee. Looks like there's hope Inkopolis. Maybe not just Inkopolis, but the whole world, maybe.
